CHAP. CCCCVI. Of the Exchanges of
Florence with Antwerp.
* 1.1FLorence doth Exchange with
Antwerp, and giveth one Crown of Gold, to have in the said place Groff. 112½ posito. I demand then, for Crowns 1400. 12. 8. of Gold how many pounds of
Groff. am I to have in Antwerp? To do this, multiply the said sum of Crowns by the said price of Gross.
112½, and it maketh Grosses 157571. of which, take the
1½, to make them Sols, and they make Sols 13130, and
Gross. 11. which to reduce to pounds, cut off the last figure of the said Sols or Shillings, and take ½ of the rest, and it maketh pounds 656, and for the tenth that is remaining, it is to be accounted 10 Sols; and if the figure cut off had been any number, it should have been added to the 10 Sols: and it thus makes pounds,
656. 10. 11. Money of Antwerp.〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
* 1.2The proof of the said
Account is seen, when that Antwerp doth exchange with Florence.

Exchange for London, which is seldom in use, the rule of casting up the same in sterling Money, is this as above with
Antwerp in Flemish Pounds.
